¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! New Years Eve Party @ Neon Cactus til 6am - Free Entry/Gratis!

¡Ándale! ¡Ándale!

New Years Eve is taken very seriously in Mexico, like us they love a party at any excuse but this is a biggie for our amigo's accross the Atlantic. Their street food and parties have inspired us since our opening and we hope to do em proud with some serious tequila slamming, dancing and maybe even the odd piñata and firework!

As it's a street party we'll be bucking the New Years trend to charge in and be keeping it Free Entry (or Gratis for our Mexican friends) and we'll be welcoming our banging residents Dr Rockwell, Ali Valium & if you're lucky maybe one of our most famous record spinners will be popping in to work the dancefloor!

Early Evening 'til 6am!

Free Entry

* We'll be encouraging one unusual Mexican New Year tradition too involving underwear. According to our wise Mexican hombres the color of a woman's panties at midnight help decide her fate in the New Year. The Mexican woman is ensured love if she wears red ones and a good job and financial health if she wears yellow. White panties denote good health and green underwear will bring money (this also goes for flowers in the home, but we care less for that!) Feel free to let us know your ambitions for the new year!

Feliz Año Nuevo!

The Hounds of Love are Calling: Futureheads to bring the Chaos to Neon Cactus

That's right, the best thing to come out of Sunderland since, well, forever is back and on a mega tour round the UK, as a special treat in Leeds we'll be getting them over to the Cactus after the Show to play some banging tunes, it's gonna be a reet party pet!



The Futureheads release their new album, 'The Chaos' on the 26th April 2010 through their own Nul Records.

The Chaos is the band’s fourth album, and arguably their most riotous to date. Following high-profile support slots with The Pixies and Foo Fighters, the new album was recorded over a series of sessions with long-standing friend David Brewis (Field Music), and renowned producer Youth.

New single Heartbeat Song is currently dominating the British radio airwaves, and The Chaos is crammed with a slew of songs equally as direct and frenzied. Combining the band's trademark four-part harmonies with a harder-edged punk delivery, The Futureheads spit out assured melodies, with the wisdom of a band that have noticeably hardened since their inception in 2003.

So you're gonna wanna know what the dealio with this is aren't you, well we'll let you in on it coz we're good like that...
